This idea has been in my mind for a long time.
Now I finally did it. Powerhead used for this is the Miele SEB 217. Motor comes from the old cordless drill. Belt tracking was a bit tricky, but now it works. Cogwheel happened to be just the perfect size in the drill motor. Finland is full of straight suction canister vacuums and this will make a powerhead use easy. This is still in the prototype stage, but all I have to do is to make battery holder for the pipe and switch of course. Pipe will be always the same because almost all vacuums use 32mm pipe size. Time will tell how it is going to hold up. If not I can convert it back to original. |

Thanks 😊
My idea came from the Accu Nova what you mentioned. This ph doesn't need a big motor. Original is just a 50 watts. Drill motor has more than enough power to run it. I am mainly concerned motor overheating in long use. I have seen the Volt and it would be awesome with its separate suction motor. |

Here you go, a youtube video that describes and demonstrates the Volt nozzle, it's a great nozzle for sure. Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO n0oxy's LINK |

That is a post I wish I had of seen when I was searching for an upright vacuum! I was really considering this but there weren’t really any reviews, and the YouTube videos out at the time weren’t convincing enough for me. |

I think why we don't have many powerhead canister vacuums in the Europe is that there is no much demand for them.
People seems to be happy with the straight suction canisters. Many buy a turbo brush to these vacuums and think that it's the solution for a carpet cleaning. Surprisingly door to door sale vacuums like the Kirby and the Lux Intelligence with the powerhead (Lux Guardian Platinum) seem to sell well. I see a lot of those in the Internet auction site. So people see the powerhead as a premium feature. Problem seems to be that people think that the powerhead canisters are difficult to use. |
